Keen Meets Singer, Songwriter Smokey Robinson
As a musician, Mike Keen of Smyrna was impressed with the lyrics of “Tracks of My Tears,” written by Smokey Robinson.
As a person, Keen was impressed with Robinson when he had the chance to meet him recently at the Berklee College of music in Boston.
Keen, 20, the son of Bob and Connie Keen of Smyrna, is a sophomore at Berklee and Robinson was present at the school to talk with approximately 150 students about how he writes his music....
Keen has a double major of music synthesis and music education at Berklee, a school of about 800 students.... For the record, his all-time favorite group is The Beatles and his favorite current group is Van Halen, which he thinks is better since singer David Lee Roth left the group.
